I put in a new crush washer and tightened down the injector and. . . it seems to have slowed the leak, but not fixed it.

Is it normal for air to escape from the prechamber (thanks for the name btw)? I still believe that the main fuel leak is coming from the actual rubber fuel lines, I'm just worried about the air escaping, if that's a problem.
Couple of problems. The protrusion of the Precombustion Chambers where they stick out of the Cylinder Head was supposed to be measures so they do not stick out too far. You did not say that you checked that.

When you remove metal from the Cylinder Head the Prechambers stick out more than they did when the Head was unaltered.

The next thing is that both the Prechamber Retaining Rings/Collars and the Injectors have specific Torque values they need to be tightened to.
