Low and behold  ......oxidization happened on the roller bearings. Not so much on the tapper ones, but just a little.

Q: rust in such a short time????
wtf????
Drying at normal temp would surely result in the same 
Any thoughts? |
Never ever put bearings in water soapy or not. You dissolve grease with oil not water. Bath them in WD40 so they soak in overnight. Not water.
As an example when you get bitumen spots on your car lower body, you can try to wash it all you want with soap it won't come off. But use a bit of table oil in a cup with a small rug and you'll wipe them off in no time.
