Default no compression b5 a4 2.8 any ideas?

So I have a B5 S4 and just picked up a 1998 B5 A4 with a 2.8 five speed from a friend for $500. I was thinking about cutting it up and parting it out but if I can fix it cheep enough I might drive it as a winter beater.

Background... When I bought it the kid said he thought he blew the head gasket but had no idea if that was the actual case. I have heard that the 2.8 never blows head gaskets so I took it into the garage and tried a compression test. I came out with no compression on all 6 cylinders. Here is a video and help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a video of the test.
