I would check your timing again. Crank @ TDC (notch about 1'Oclock position on plastic cover) Make sure that #1 piston is at top and BOTH valves closed, then make sure the LARGE holes on each cam gear face towards each other(middle of engine) and are PERFECTLY LEVEL with each other, even one tooth off will end up in a no start problem, but really make sure the #1 piston is on compression and not exhaust stroke before timing the engine

How do I know if the piston 1 is at the top? I know about the TDC mark and all with the holes on the cams

Remove plug, stick finger in, have someone crank with bar, wait to feel piston? That's how we did it back in the day.

If the timing is off and you tried to start it, you may have bent some valves.

Best bet is NGP up in NOVA. Or hit up someone on Audiforums.

Not 100% sure but isn't there a shop in Richmond that deal with Audi's. I think Delta V but I might be wrong.
