If I position the stop on the piston (thread the bolt all the way down till it touches piston) when the piston is not all the way up (TDC) how can the piston go up further?


Correct it cannot. You can't position the piston at TDC with the tool installed because as you know it is keeping the piston from coming all the way up. The tool only allows you figure where (on the dampener) exact TDC is then you remove the tool & then move the piston till a new TDC white paint mark on the dampener (if needed) halfway between your 2 sharpie marks is lined up with the zero on the tab & at that point the piston is at exact TDC
