the upper pan cracked at one of the bolt holes. i now hold in my hand (well, when i'm done typing) a small piece of the upper oil pan

The JB weld will hold. Simply use it to "Glue" the piece back in or fill the void with JB. If the threads are broken or stripped in the upper pan, fill it with JB and retap it. The threads in the upper pan probably go all the way through, back it up with a lock nut. Do not over tighten. 6 ft lbs I believe. I have seen it used on cracked blocks, water jackets and such. I have not seen it fail.
