YPipe, Oil pan and K-Member issue

I have a set of Edelbrock TES Headers and a Moroso Deep Pan. My problem is the y-pipe is sandwiched between the pan and the k-member. This obviously makes the oil extremely hot! Not good... Any Ideas other than an Oil Cooler (Which I've got) that would help? I've tried that thermal wrap but it's just so close it almost touches the pan. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks
