>From  what I have seen the consensus is that one can kasher a self cleaning
oven by  putting it through its cycle. This also applies to the racks inside
the  oven.

Question: If one puts a pot that needs libun inside the self  cleaning oven
during its clean cycle is that also ok?

IIRC the Blumenkrantz Pesach book says you can kasher the grates of the  
stovetop this way -- by putting them in the self-cleaning oven -- so it seems 
to  me you could do the same with a pot, but I will let the scholars here 
answer  that question.
 
However:   be warned that if the pot has non-metal handles, they  will be 
turned into ashes snowing on the bottom of your oven.  I found that  out by 
accident -- I didn't notice the pot hiding in the back of the oven before  I 
turned it on.  Also, the incineration of the plastic releases malodorous  
and possibly dangerous fumes. 
 
PS In a Purim skit my husband once had people kashering paper plates with a 
 blowtorch.
