im gunna have someone replace my starter because i cant get at the third bolt on top. for some reason exhaust is now leaking out by my manifolds or something cuz its really loud and ****ty sounding. but i have one bolt only taken out of the starter. will that be a big deal if i drive it up to the place without that bolt in?

 

Once you get the car started the starter is out of the picture.

 

Youll be fine. A lot of Ford techs wont even put that top bolt back in.
