   I will be keeping this car if...... IF i didn't ruin the engine
   I ran it out of coolant (dad didn't reconnect water level meter
   and temp gauge went out) I think I blew a head gasket, I am going
   to get head redone and new gasket, compression reading is as follows-
   cyl #1-100ps1 #2-60psi #3-60psi #4-30psi #5-28psi 
   Anyone have any idea what this points to, I am thinking of
   replaceing valves if they are messed up, if not, just ground,
   Does this sound like a cracked head/headgasket (hoping) 
   Another quick question does anyone know here I can obtain the tool
   to remove the head bolts? I don't feel like paying Audi prices if
   I don't have to, I already have to spend $65 for a head gasket.

Not to mention the head bolts . . . one-use jobbers!

Another datum -- at least some of the Audi engines use valves with
surface-hardened mating surfaces, "grinding" them will leave vastly
weakened valve surfaces . . .

The only way to tell the damage is to tear the thing apart. Also
pay careful attention to the pistons and rings (you'll hafta pull
the pistons to get to the rings), since you may have heat-damaged
them too. At least you don't have to pull the engine to get to the
pistons . . .
