Proximo is correct. It sounds like your chainrings are sitting more outboard than they were. I'm assuming that you did absolutely nothing to the front derailleur. It takes more pressure to tighten crank bolts than most people can generate with an 8" wrench. Grease the spindle and use a torque wrench. 300 in. pounds should do it.
