have any luck get it started with first few cranks. if she is still cranking over and over then finally starting and all the obvious things have been accessed, the next i would recommend is a compression test. very easy to accomplish within thirty minutes you will be done. the reason it cranks and cranks is because u have weak compression until it builds and builds, then it fires over. piston rings, valve stem seals or most likely a leaking head gasket. i would say u have slight leak losing compression on the first 3-5 rotations.
