Just wanted to know if you can tell the difference from a 2.0 litre and 2.5 litre when the engines in the car?

By looking at it you mean? I'm not the best person to reply this but i think the biggest way of telling is the inlet manifold, the 320 ones are slightly smaller and less curvy than the 325 ones.

Apparently 320's have a different rocker breather:

Not sure on this though, as I've never had a 320

320 has white injectors and a 325 has blue injectors.
Thats the quickest way to tell from looking at it, but thats no guarentee that the bottom end is the correct one.
Someone may have just swapped the top
