I think everything should be OK. Just check that the position of the crank timing wheel (right behind the timing cover) is set correctly for use of the 2.5 cover. I had mine wrong originally and the damn thing wouldn't start. Had one hell of a time pulling the cover loose and correcting it while the motor was still in the car so check first.

thanks but one more thing i am using escape intake cams and mazda 6 exhaust cams..does that change anything
buck shot answered my question..

In any case it doesn't matter a single fudgin bit if you used plutonium upgraded NASA designed stuff if you're using the 2.5 cover. The crank fires off of the placement of the pickup sensors located in the timing cover. The 3L cover has different sensor locations than the 2.5 cover so the crank timing wheel has to correspond with whatever cover is used regardless of what cams, etc you're running.

i am using the 3.0 timing cover, i also have escape intake cams and mazda6 exhaust cams

make sure you set the pulse wheel to the 2.5L setting. i dont know why someone would say that the 3.0 and 2.5 coversd have different sensor locations, my 3.0 cover has the sensor locations in the same place.

EDIT: if using these said cams you gotta use the 3.0 timing components
