No, would have to be a van DJ5 engine which were made in both forms to be a non turbo.
He states it is a DK5 from an XM. All those were turbo balanced engines.
The usual give away is the injectors DJ has 4 the same with no sensor one.
The high chance of in service head cracking around the valves on secondhand 2.5 heads makes that a risky buy.

Hi Dean
As far as I am aware the heads are interchangable it is just the condition that is suspect.
If it was handy to pick up I might chance £10 but not the current asking price.

I fitted a non turbo head to my 2.5 turbo CX td and it appeared to be almost identical.
