Anyone for Sunday lunch the wifes out.

Yeah. Probably by the fumes from the paint!!

I'm amazed people still think it's okay to do this in their food ovens, inside their homes.

I've done it for years with no ill effects - most recently the gearbox casing of my ES2 to fit the main bearing. Provided the component is reasonably clean, not a problem. In any case the tang of burnt 40 grade adds a certain je ne sais quoi to a tasty roast. It's a bit like the way making pastry cleans your fingernails of stubborn dirty oil and gives the resultant baked products a delightful mysterious fragrance.

As an aside, that's a very clean oven!

Carry on... You'll be fine.

A mate of mine swept up in an Asbestos factory for years. He's in his sixties now and doesn't look a day over ninety.

I'm not even going to suggest reading the Hazchem warnings on the paint label.

I know the fear - been there waiting to hear the bearings drop out of the crank cases before the footsteps of SWMBO are heard coming up the walk - ðð

Try supermarket roasting bags, large size will hold barrels, half crankcase, even a turkey (if you must). No fumes, no repercussions and no comments from the 'elf n safety crowd.

carry on cooking!

Now I do like this idea!

Many years ago I put an Atlas head inside the dishwasher for a hot wash over a 2 hour cycle. The wife walked in just as I was extracting the head from the top shelf. The headcame put absolutely sparkling but the salt in the detergent tablet didn't do the studs, valve seats and guides much good. Worse still the dishwasher died two weeks later. The cost being £250 for the replacement as against £20 for vapour blasting.....No contest!!!

She Who Must Be Obeyed has caught me many times, I can still just about walk. Last time it was when doing the main bearings, crank case in oven bearings in fridge.

I got in trouble for oil in the oven and was told to use a baking tray next time.

Now that I have a new garage I am confined to the garage for building the bike, no more assembling the bike behind the settee and wheeling out in the spring.

You need an understanding boss / wife, trouble is mine understands me too well.

You can buy a table top electric oven for about £40, which will keep SWMBO off your back (you should be so lucky!).

As for the fumes from the paint, it is old paint isn't it? You are not curing new paint, so I can't see much of a problem.
