I have felt some movement on the pint but it will not go in and I thought in the past it did.
Cranking this thing is a pain (i am being nice) how many turns does it take to get it aligned?

No. It is a very subtle dimple that the pin drops down into. Very easy to miss.
If you miss the dimple during one pass, the engine crankshaft needs to make 2 full turns to get back to where you were. 1-3/4 turns will get you "approaching" the dimple. It is at this point you need to slow down the cranking.
Remove spark plug #1. This makes it easier to crank that piston up to the top as the dimple approaches. Go slow that last 1/4 turn.
HTH.
