Trechii sell the Yenmaks for £230/set
Lymmengineparts.co.uk sell the OE AE/Nurall/Goetze liners for around £430/set

The key I was trying was from a 75. In fact I have tried a couple of other 75 keys with same results with only half the barcode being correct

I bought the valves for my new head from Redmans Engine Centre in Fleetwood, however they had these in their ebay shop.

That link is for NON turbo piston though The turbo version of pistons having a stronger ring land area on the piston crown compared to NASP. Well that what I have been told over the years, however Iv'e never been able to compare the measurements of the TURBO and NASP pistons or hold them side by side to compare. Liners are all the same agreed. 1.6 through to 1.8

I know Gary, but of course I'm rebuilding a NASP at the moment, the worst case of overheating I've ever encountered on a K ever
Have you encountered a car where the timing belt cover has melted
