I would just proceed cautiously without a rubber stopper. You can still turn
the crank with a great measure of preciseness by prying between the engine
stand attachment bolt(s) and the flywheel or flexplate ring gear. You just snug
the piston to the stop, read your degree wheel, then snug the piston to the
stop after rotating the crank in the opposite direction. These two readings
will let you zero the degree wheel to your homemade pointer, then remove the
piston stop altogether. Just don't force the piston against the stop - you're
not going to damage anything if you go slow.

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?
