Default wideband sensor getting to HOT?

I'm noticing after an hour of logging and making changes that my LM1 is going way lean(19-20AF) at idle, when I start the logging process when everything is cool(but up to coolant temp of 200f) my idle after is perfect 14.3-14.6.

Once the WB is hot, the af creeps up. When I start moving I get more realistic af values but once I stop for a traffic light the af slowly creeps up from my near perfect numbers.

WB is in the I pipe.

From my searching on here I have found others with the same problem but really no luck in fabbing up a heatsink.

My car has Long tube headers, off road ypipe and an airlid so I won't think I'd have this many problems.

Any suggestions.

High IAT will lean out the mixture.
In OL this is most dramatic, filter out IAT above 95°F.
Without filtering out high IAT you can over adjust resulting in rich AFR and
that can have you going in circles for a while.
The WBO2 can't overheat in the Ipipe.

Filter your results to only report within a certain IAT range.

I see IAT leaning out my idle mixture too, been in
open loop SD mode for a while now tweaking every
other weekend. IAT gets heated differently than
the real air temp, by engine bay heat conduction,
but that's about all you can say.
