I used the 0.4 mm clutch gap you suggested, but opted for 0.9 mm spring nut compression, instead of the book 1 mm value. End play is about 1-2 mm. Enough that the bell spins freely with no drag.
I have mine set at 1 mm as in the manual. The acceleration is fantastic !

Since the clutchbell already can spin freely, I would still add some more shims as per step 8.7 to take out most of the end play. Mine virtually does not have any but a very slight end play. This will give a longer thrust bearing life.
