I have used the 100 x 100 on several motors and have advised others to do likewise. However I’ve had some that have given me a hard to diagnose problem. It seemed to not want to start the initial flow but would be ok once the gas was flowing through it. Anyhow, I’ve since abandoned the 100 x 100 x .006" holes and am now using 80 x 80 x .007" holes and it seems to be much better. I get it from mcmaster.com I’ve also experimented with a drop or two of Locktite thread locker to hold the roll in the fitting instead of solder. Rinse out any that doesn’t cure. If you overlap the edges a bit, it really doesn’t need solder at the seam. Worked for me.
