arhh ok..... i doesnt look tapered??

looking at the pic you can clearly see a machined "bottom" to the thread, (not saying that this creates the seal however)



what im getting at is... i can't tighten it anymore as it'll bottom out ;-) theirs a clear end to the thread via a machined flat piece which can be seen above, i was wondering if it went right through to the middle of the block, if you get what im trying to say??? Clearly not however.
