This question is somewhat subjective. However, when making logbook entries you should describe the work accomplished so that the reader will know, without a doubt, what you did, what you did not do, and the means of proof by references or inspection procedures you used in the process. Eight 1/4 - 20 and Heli-Coil® inserts were replaced, the damaged inserts were extracted, the tapped holes gauged, then new inserts installed, and tangs removed provides the most complete description of the operations involved in replacing a standard Heli-Coil insert.
