OK, all WB 02s I am aware of for our applications are heated. As I understand, heating ensures the sensor is in it's operating temperature range as well as cleaning the sensor of deposits.

And as I understand, the reson for having it at or near 12:00 o'clock is so crap is less likely to build up on/in it in the exhaust, as well as fall off/out when/if it lands on the sensor. The external portion of the sensor is fairly well insulated from pretty much anything, I think. It should be in my hands tomorrow, so I may know more then.
