The usual rule is 1 thou per inch of diameter.
That, or even slightly more, shouldnt crack cast iron.

I prefer shrink or press fits to glue, although some of the modern adhesives 
are excellent.

Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone can give me some idea  with regard to press 
fit
tolerances, I have to press fit a silver  steel crank pin in to a cast iron
wheel. As far as I can tell the  nominal hole size is 0.750 and is already 
in
existence how much should I allow  for a good press fit without running the
risk of cracking the cast Iron wheel.  Or would I be better obtaining a
proprietary adhesive and using that. If so  what would you recommend, I am 
fitting
crank pins to the wheels.
    Many thanks
    Don.
