There is no actual spec for cold settings, but 0.020" will be close enough.

I usually add 0.002 to the hot spec.

just cuz your in the corn crib or what?? Yeah the approch may work for you for awhile. I can see not using a feeler guage, but torque wrench? Your elbow isn't the same everytime. I set clutch pack clearences all the time by sight and feel. But torque? Helps to have it even steven. I know you can torque an entire H together with a 3/8 ratchet and it will run but come on.
