hi the clutch gap of .6mm you mention is that gap of the clutch enbell floating off the shoe. i am confused because he did not mention if the clutch bell should be touching the clutch shoe. if i did the same setup like him my clutch bell is touching the shoe which i think you will want it not to touch the shoe.

When you are going to measure the gap, only the thrustbearing is installed, Then you press the bell against the shoe, so yes indeed it needs to touch the shoe.
