yah 72 will fix the mk3 legandary head gasket( i thought you meant people put an extra 20 ontop of thr 72 my mistake), if your only pushin factory power at the moment and its not giving any issues then torque them to the proper setting of 72 and you shouldnt have any issues for a while( maby band aid wasent the right analondgy, more like a bandage it'll fix you up but not permanently, but just long enough for you to get the right stuff together for a proper fix) just get um to72 and you should be fine if your not abusing your motor and are at factory power levels

my supra is still on the new OE head gasket which to torqued to 72 whith moly lube and iv never had any issues ( origonal owner did this i just checked the torue specs to make shure everything is up to par)
