Great Kit. Highly suggest that adult lead in the building/deciphering of instructions. Instructions sometimes unclear. A Hotline number is given and the help given there is Super! I lost a piece and they sent me the replacement. Finished product is an excellent internal combustion engine demo!

This motor works engine kit kept my 9 year old engrossed for hours at a time when he was building it. Very cool plus he learned a lot. Discover This is a great store.

My 9 year old put this together in a couple of days with his dad. It was a great project for the two of them. An adult is required as we found you had to use an exacto knife or box cutter to smooth out some of the plastic edges after taking them off the plastic form. My son loves it and is taking it to show and tell at school. Excellent product,clear instructions,and a great learning opportunity.
