5W30 means the oil is the equivilent of 5 weight oil when cold (good for cold starts) and 30 weight oil when hot. Upping the first number (the 5) to a 10 only means the oil will be thicker at start up (slows the oil reaching the top end when cold). I wouldn't mess with the oil for this problem.

10 & 35 psi is adequate but does seem low for a rebuild or new engine. How sure are you of the accuracy of the guage?
