There are so many variables to take into account that it's not easy to make blanket statements about how much to allow. Among the factors to consider are:
material type
diameters
surface finish
size tolerances
Also, press fitting isn't as firm as shrink fitting. When you can heat up a bore and have it shrink to the mating part, that is often s stronger bond than simple pressing.
