Default 90" 740GLE issues

[:@][:@] OK I bought this GLE 16 Valve and it seemed to be in immaculate condition. Drove for 6 months and it started to run really rough........... long story short I had a burnt valve........ $1200 later.......... New Valve, Seals, Head Gasket, Manifold Gasket, Water Pump Gasket, Valve cover gasket, New Timing Belts, new radiator.......etc etc etc..... get the car back running absolutely perfectly for 3-4 days.............. dash lights come on gauges start getting funky......... figure it was the alternator........... $275 dollars..... + $75 new battery.............. all is well for 2 days.......... go to start it up on my way home from work yesterday................ no start............. wouldnt even take a jump....... going to try to charge the battery today and get it to my mechanic.................


Ok thanks for letting me vent................. anyone have any suggestions.........advice???

Bad battery?

Did you get it fixed yet?

Also maybe a starter.
