Another thing to consider with a newly tight engine is the electrical and particularly the condition of the starter motor. Starter could have a lot of mileage and be in need of a rebuild. Worn bushings which are letting the armature drag are another possibility. On a loose engine a starter issue would not be as noticeable as it would be with the sudden added stress of a lot more load. Marginal battery cable size or battery capacity and condition could also be a factor with the added load.
