 ;D I would just use the gasket that came with it (new one) that thick spacer,I think it is just a heat insulator/gasket(i think)...on my brothers pickup i didn't use that thick spacer like thing,i threw it away...Hope my info helps,id would like to know if I'm rouge

     Your old EGR valve had that extended shaft on it, that is the reason for the spacer.  The new EGR valve does not have it, so just use the supplied gasket with the new EGR valve.
