Moment of silence...... 1995 A6 1995-2003
Timing belt snapped from a 50 mile trip.. made it home and died in its parking spot. Then the flat bed truck winched it up and the cable broke, the car flew off the flat bed and up a curb and into a tree. The rear of the car is all smashed up and the right rear tire is bent in. Someones getting sued. Is there any hope of someone fixing my engine if in fact all of the valves are bent?
I hope soneone can help! thanks again..

HOLY ****!!!!!!!!!!
Jack, holy f$ck! That's one hell of a bad day for you!!! Dude, I would be so depressed if this ever happened to me! I'm so sorry to hear that! Was the truck standing still when the car flew off? Sue those *******s!
You might want to ask Audios69 if he'd be willing to work on your engine, I don't know.

Solution for your T belt job:
Hey Jack. I actually have a set of heads, all set to go with everything needed for the head job.. It is left over conversion parts from a 100 that I purchased in Alabama- I drove down with the intent to replace the heads, and drive it back. When IN FACT it was only a fuel pump, and timing was off completely (but no valve damage!) SO I have everything, headbolts, gaskets, etc. Email me if interested, nick@autox.biz

Follow up....
Well i am waiting for audi to give me work on whats up with the engine.. but i still dont think it looks good. If so, it looks like i am going back to my original home at maxima.org with my 2000 I30t. The good news is that an Audi will still be in the family. My parents just got a 2002 S4 leftover.. Would anyone be interested in parts or purchasing the car itself? Again this all depends on the verdict..

Deja-vu (for engine)
Take it to Zumbach Motors in NYC and they'll fix that engine easy for $4k. Will include new radiator, belts, new heads, labor, and a few things you probably don't need. I saw a fresh/new 12v engine for sale here a few weeks ago for 1-2k I think...
The body,... I went to Macco. But, I had minor dents and scratches...
PS - really sorry to hear, brother.

damn
I would not pay $4k for new heads and labor. I'd do it myself for substantially less. If indeed you bent valves, and the valve guides in the head are damaged, try to find a set of complete 12v heads. Get new gaskets, port and polish the heads, regrind the valves, now would be the time to throw in the Schrick cams, get a new timing belt, waterpump, tstat, plugs, wires, belts, hoses, etc... replace most of everything you take off the car that way when its put back together you will have a damn near new engine.
And as for the body work, sue the towing company. Maybe your insurance will cover it and they can sue the tow company. It'd be easier and quicker if your insurance handled it.
You can get standard ported and polished heads from TDL for like $995 and if you want the big valve heads they are around $3995. I don't think he charges for cores but I could be wrong. If you were gonna spend the $4k, spend it on the TDL big valve heads, and get new cams. The car will have more hp and run like new. Can't beat that. Price is kinda high for the heads, I'm sure I could have a shop around here do the valve work and still be right around $1200.
