How many bolts hold on the starter?
I had my clutch done last week, and after about 100 miles of driving, it sounded grunchy at startup, and there was a periodic rattle while underway. So I jacked it up and my suspicion was correct. The starter was wobbling loose. One bolt was finger tight and the other was backed out 1/8 inch. Tightened them down and the noise is gone. Obviously, the tech had not finished bolting on the starter. 
So, is there another bolt I need to worry about?

Hopefully the tech managed to tighten the crank bolts.

Worse on TURBO, heat shield over the starter, mounts using lower driver side bolt in torque tube to bellhousing, 2 nuts on back of starter (not the same 2 nuts for electrical) 1 bolt in side of bellhousing... major PITA to remove with car on jackstands... N/A starter is a walk in the park...
