1) Engine noise:
The click noise you are getting when going forwards the first time after reversing, is not the engine, its the brake pads clicking into position as they have some movement. Yes its poor I know, its Australian built! Nothing much you can do to fix this. The official Toyota fix was to use "pad knock grease", which is thick white grease to help stop some of the pad knock noise. After a while the noise comes back, and in some cases they changed the pads under warrantee but I am not sure they are any different. This is just a noise, there is nothing realy wrong with the car. More common is the front disks warping. With heavy brakeing the frond disks will warp and need machining. This happens alot with this model, probably just poor material (again, Australian made).
Your engine, 5S-FE, has ballance shafts in the sump that run off the crankshaft. The gears driving this have a charateristic whine. All Camrys with this motor, and some Magnas etc have the whine noise, normal.
