Hi there,
The 'Haynes Build Your Own Internal Combustion Engine' is for ages 10 years and over. The manufacturers do not specify an age limit for the product.
I hope this helps :) Thanks for using Argos Q&A.
Most definately! I am 73 years of age and I really enjoyed doing it - a big kid at heart, I suppose!
I think it could be a bit difficult for a child to build unaided.
