    Amusing DR350 manual...

    From the Clymer DR250/350 Manual (discussing lower end rebuild):

    "Even though the crankcase has been washed there may be a residual oil or solvent odor left in the oven after heating the crankcase. If you use a household oven, first check with the person who uses the oven for food preparation to avoid getting into trouble." (p. 142)

    You have been warned... :-)

    I once had a similar problem when I was heating a crankcase prior to putting some bearings in it
