  Of course a taper will fit a taper even if max or min diameter is off a bit 

so long as the angles are still the same.  A smidge off in a taper isn't 
quite as far off as a smidge in linear lineup.  Especially if there's the 
least bit of crush available.  
  What amazes me is the repeatability in everything on these engines 
EXCEPT for piston projection.  I really don't get why it's so variable 
yet bearing, bore, etc tolerances are within less than .001 easily!
