There are no spacers on the header pipe. The gasket is a copper compression ring when you screw the clamp up toth ehead it will compress. Are you sure the spacer isnt the part of the exhaust which has snapped off around the welds as behind the clamp which you screw to the head there is about 1 1/2iches of exhaust to fit in the port
