First, redstone engines can blow up, but only if you're feeding more energy into them from another engine or an energy link.

Second, steam engines can blow up, but only under the same circumstances that redstone engines can. It takes far less additional energy to blow up a steam engine, however. They will never blow up if they are just left continuously running and outputting their power into something (quarry, wooden pipe, etc.).
