Hi ATB,
You could strip down all of one side of the engine, once the cam carrier if off you could remove the barrel above that case bolt but it would not be a good idea. It would be a huge amount of work and when you're that far in it's make sense to rebuild it.
As for oil, the warmer the climate the thicker the oil you can get away with. A 10/50 Will be fine. Porsche used those oils on the 964 if I member rightly. Mobil 1 0/40 was never the best oil for air cooled engines, especially as they get older. That however is just my opinion.
The Mobil 1 Motorsport oil is excellent in these engines. Or Millers Nano tech oils which are reassuring expensive.
Regards
