Ok it sounds to me like it's turning over, though it would be good to see the engine while you turn then key- is the accessory belt moving while its trying to start? One thing in surprised no one suggested is to take off the bottom skid plate, put a ratchet on the crank bolt, and turn th engine by hand. Is there a great deal of resistance? If you have a stuck valve and you're running the engine with the starter, you're going to bend the valve. If you turn by hand you can stop is there's a sudden increase in resistance.
