Have you tested your actual oil pressure? If the car starts running rough after 45 miles and the light starts blinking, I’d definitely make sure you have oil pressure at that point first, especially if after a new pressure sensor was installed.

Just finished watching the video and have to say GOOD JOB! It took me a LONG time to figure out brake line bending, and you sure seemed to do it very well for your first go!
I would like to offer this suggestion to anyone who may be tackling this soon. When it comes to getting those sharp 90 degree turns or any close bend that you may end up kinking, this has helped me in the past:
As you start your bend, watch the deformation in the tubing, instead of leaving the tool in one place, keep on repositioning it along the bend to allow the tube to keep a much more open curve. If you tend to leave it at the same place right at the beginning, you will notice it will start to flatten out and kink. But if you reposition the tool slightly ahead of where you started, and adjust it slightly again and again, the bend will still be tight, but without the tubing collapse. I have a big stainless tubing bender from Home Depot that I use as I used to run stainless steel lines in restaurants for soda machines. It definitely helps to re-adjust every so often.
I hope that helps someone else in the future!
