GM TDC Piston Stop (Hot Rod Magazine)
According to the June 2004 issue, GM sells a brass, hollow (vents cylinder pressure as you turn the engine over), 14mm threaded piston stop for use with heads on engine.
P/N is 12364087. I haven't checked with a dealer for availability, but thought I'd pass that on to you all here.

I have one that's all rusty and I can never find it when I need it, cause it falls to the bottom of the box and hides.
I think I'll get one of these shiny new ones!
