If you perform a leak down test, it will tell you "exactly" where you stand; no more guess work. If it passes, you have a nice solid engine to drive where you like, if it is marginal, then a decision can be made on what to do in the future.
10w30 in an air cooled engine is certainly a concern, but in an engine with a built up crank... I just would not feel comfortable!
