If this is true, then it would promote a high clamping pressure at the most critical area of sealing. If you lap it, then it would diminish this important feature.
I noticed the taper on 3.2 cylinders, I have not checked on other cylinders that ran CE rings.

We don't lap this joint for that very reason.
