Narrative:

We were scheduled a number of time control items to be completed along with a service check. The #2 engine had a engineering service order or modification due. This engineering service order or modification consists of 7 operations to be completed and then engineering service order or modification to be signed off along with the associated job instruction cards. At the end of the night, one of my amt's brought to our attention the detail of operation X. This operation consisted of performing a leak check of the fuel nozzles. This item could not be completed by my crew. I called the maintenance controller and explained the situation, and that I thought there was just a paperwork error and that from what I could tell, this operation would only need to be done if any of the fuel nozzles had been removed for access during the boroscope. This was not needed as the inspectors were able to complete the boroscope by accessing through the bolt holes. This engineering service order or modification was busted by the maintenance controller equipment controller. I gave my turnover to the next shift on what had transpired. I explained to the lead on duty what needed to be done and if at all possible, we should complete this operation and sign off the engineering service order or modification even though the item had been cancelled. At this point, after already extending the time I was leaving work approximately 1 hour, in a hurry, I drew 1 line through the entry and signed along with my employee number. This was where the error had occurred. I lined through the entry after all the work had been completed with no logbook signoff saying any work had taken place, even though it had. This was a mistake I regret making while in a hurry and was not made aware of it until the following night.
