Besides making sure all the times add up correctly, what else do I need to do? And if it's really jacked up, do I get a new log book and start over or do I use white-out? Do the airlines really care about single-engine Cessna time? It seems to me they'd be more interested in my military time, knowing that no matter how much non-military time I have, I am a standardized AETC/ACC product.
If you're including those hours in your totals, then you need to have a log book with them in it. It's probably a lot of dual received, some student solo and maybe a little PIC. Since PIC turbine is the big deal, I don't think those recip hours are going to matter much one way or the other. Those hours will only go in your total time, most likely. I wouldn't try to pretend they don't exist, but I wouldn't waste too much time doctoring them up.
How "jacked up" can 100 hours of single engine recip time be? What did you do, log them in crayon?
You could start a new book and re-copy, but make sure you don't try to pass that new book off as the original. They all have copyright dates. If you have flights from the 1990's in a book with a 2011 copyright, you're going to get shown the door if you try to tell them it's an original.
If you have instructor's/evaluator's endorsements in your original, I'd try to clean it up and stick with that one, if possible.
