Dear technician I'm suffering from a big problem, can you help me?
I have a Toyota Corolla 1.8 GLI, with 1ZZ-FE engine, and i made 140000Km till now with out changing any tings in the engine.

And my problems starts after car accident where they changed all radiator parts in August, but i continue to drive care after accident for 3 days till find the garage, but the temperature that time also starts gos high for few seconds after going down that's way i did not take the matter seriously.and after the repair every ting was going smoothly, this problem now happened suddenly

1. my car temperature starts gos high very fast faster than before.
2. starts filling like the will stop and sometimes it's stop,(giving a strong shake), and hearing strange sound like truck.
3. when stopping the engine after 15min. engine shows low temperature like normal.
4. the radiator takes 500ml. water every 25km. (I start to ad normal water).
5. I started to fill up water always in every trip.
6. some time he is not getting starts, after few trails engine starts with a huge wight smoke where its disappeared after a wail.
7. now i start to maintain that there is a water inside the oil.

so some mechanics told me they should take the engine out to open the Head Gasket and check it.
and as you maintained it will cost me a lot they will start with 800$ and may be it will cost more.

please advice me if it's important to do this job? or there is special products can help me.

I'm leaving in United Arab of Emirates (Dubai).

The only way they can tell if its the headgasket is to do a block and pressure tests
