| Sounds like timing or firing order. |

Make sure the firing order is right. Cyls 1-4 are on passenger side, 5-8 on drivers side. Make sure cap is wired in correct direction. Make sure the #1 is at TDC on the compression stroke, not the exhaust stroke. Both valves will be closed on the compression stroke.
Your shop is right about cranking. The starter will overheat, as it's not rated for continual duiy and it will bake the windings to death if you don't let it sit for a half hour between bursts. There is insufficient heat dissipation designed into the compact starter package. For continual duty, the starter would be larger and contain fans and vents.
I suspect your engine is just about ready to fire up and run.
