1 bucket in engine = 18.000 MJ

creating 1 bucket from cobb = 24.000 MJ

creating 1 bucket from netherrack = 12.000 MJ In other words, not a profit unless you use netherrack. Good thing it's easy to come by. + secret: using a quarry in the nether usually won't go well unless you put a bucket of oil in the quarry area.
