Crank bearing chatter

Looks like the front crank bearing/flywheel side has been wiggling back and forth. Bearing still feels smooth, engines was still running when pulled apart. Motor had a lot of time on it, was going to replace the crank anyways, wondering if I put bearing loctite would stop it from wiggling? Or should I replace the cases?

Edit:
I ended up using loctite primer and 620 bearing retaining compound.

looks like the outer race wasn't aligned with the pin and the pin was pushed further in the hole when the cases were torqued back down. I found something similar on my 62t engine upon tear down. I used bearing retainer Loctite to hold it down when I put it back together. the pin was above the surface but barely.

It was lined up with the pin and pin is sticker down into the bearing like its suppose too. I think the loctite should fix it.
