Narrative:

I was changing some acoustic panels on the #2 engine. While installing them; the apex tip I was using to install them broke; so I went to get a new one. I returned with the new tip and continued from where I thought I had left off and finished torquing the panels in place. The aircraft was still in work when my shift was completed. Days later; the engine was run for leak/vibration check. During this check; one of the screws that I had installed to hold the acoustic panel in place had come loose and FOD'ed the engine; damaging the blades and the abrasive shroud. This damage led to the engine being replaced. I take full responsibility for the incident.
