You hit the nail on the head with the valve clearance job

I can feel your frustration, i went through a similar process as you, hopefully yours is not serious. Try looking through my thread "Valve adjustment no good" maybe you will get some inspiration or idea of what you can check next.

BTW, i did have the valve cover off at one point when cranking, just to make sure everything was moving properly. It actually started with the cover off, which was quite amusing for a moment.
