Generally if you're revalving MX forks for woods work, you are just removing some shims to start with. No cost involved, unless you are replacing seals and bushings while you're in there, which would be recommended in any case.

Oil viscosity is a great tuning tool, but remember that the oil viscosity will affect the entire range, low speed, high speed, and midrange. Working on the shims you can focus on any one range individually, which is generally what is needed when converting MX forks to woods use. Specifically the high speed damping, in most cases.
