I have used .0008" to .0012" press fit for cast iron dist drive gears. I would use the same for this. Just make sure when you grind the od on the cam to match the sleeve, it has zero taper. Heat the sleeve with a propane torch and slide it on.
Camshaft sleeve press question.
How much press do you need for a sleeve on a camshaft journal?

You can freeze it if the press fit is on the high side. 8 tenths will push on easy if you warm up the sleeve.
Yeah the sleeves are hard and tough to grind. I use a roller wheel and still have a tough time with chatter.
