It does indeed remove the manufacturing stresses in the parts and makes the parts stronger and more durable aswell as smoother fitting.

If you have any doubts about parts, like belts etc. Leave them off.
Also. Build the car with NO coatings...... no grease or oils and when completely cooled. Dissmantle the car and apply your coatings and parts you left off.
It's a good idea also to keep the parts in the exact places they came from. The plastic will have "molded" for want of a better term into and onto the positions you had them in when you placed the car into the oven.

Hope this helps.
