I'll tell you an idea I had .Machining rings for what ever size piston you are dealing with as far as OD of the piston,48-52 mm  etc .About 3/4" wide maybe 30-40 thou thick .Just make a saw cut, one across it .In theory once it's in a three jaw it should clamp it dead on center . Just a theory .I never did it no more pistons than I work on .
