It almost looks to me that stew Mac wants you to learn a bit of side bending with this kit by just getting you to touch them up. I imagine if so it would be in the instructions. If not then it seems like a good opportunity to learn.
What is a little stress between friends? By the time the blocks and the linings are on there won't be all that much stress on the top and back. It is not like they are trying to extract the last percent of acoustical goodness in the kit. Just a reasonably well sounding guitar.
