F**King BIG Bo**ocks!
stripped the bottom end of the pinto this morning so that i could do the honing (which all went well) and then inspected the crank main bearing and
one of them has a crack in it! i measured the crank and it measures 56.98mm, consulting the oracle of Haynes its has standard crank width so is it a
case of just buying and fitting a new set of bearings?
would these be ok

Can't see the auction because at work, but the link says big end bearings and you say the mains are cracked?

I would add a 'BIG' between the two words in your thread title (preferable in bold)!
The initial statement just doesn't convey the seriousness of your predicament!
