No. The OEM gasket seals just fine by itself. The gasket has two small bosses on the bottom that properly locate it to the block/heads, and to help keep it in place as the manifold is placed on top. Also - I thought I should mention - the rear bolt needs to be inserted in it's hole in the manifold/spacer before the assembly goes in. It's a little awkward, but there's no way to get it in later. You'll see what I mean when you disassemble - you won't be able to pull that bolt out by itself, the cowl is in the way. Your assembly might be a little trickier since you're installing the 1" thick piece. I hear it's kinda tight up by the cowl with that spacer installed.
