Crack in Bottom Bracket shell

When pedaling with torque there is a subtle clanking sound coming from the bottom bracket. My diagnosis on the cause is a crack in the bottom bracket shell discovered after removal of the cups being retained with Loctite 609 to the press fit bottom bracket. Previously press fit installation and removal due to creaking of the bottom bracket over the past 3 years, the punching out removal caused the separation that is shown in the photo. I am considering an epoxy or super glue to prevent the movement of one side of the shell under the stress of pedaling. Any one have any thoughts.
