Yeah, apparantly that's the part of the head that overheats and cooks the valves; left hand head, cylinder #2. The wierd thing is that Chrysler knows what's causing it but won't release the precise information; all they'll say is that the overheating head and subsequent valve failure on #2 is caused by "a combination of a certain type/quality of fuel and a particular driving style" but won't go any further to elaborate on it (possibly fearing that idiots will then go out to intentionally replicate the fault).
