I think he meant you could set a dial indicator against the bare deck using a 
magnetic base support.  The dial indicator has a very low tension spring 
against a delicate feeler that won't mark the piston.  But there can't be heads 
in the way.  

I have one of the Harbor Freight dial indicators and the magnetic base.  I am 
very impressed with the tool for the money.

I realize now I should have done this before putting all my pistons in.
Actually, I think it might be near impossible to get good readings without
bunging up the top of the piston in the process. A rubber stopper over the bolt
would probably kill the accuracy, right?
