Air in the prechambers? Is that a result of worn injectors, or something else?

It sounds like I should start with fuel delivery & compression testing before chasing an air leak. I'll adjust the valves, individually crack injector lines, and do some research on injector replacement or rebuilding.

I don't think it's an air leak. Air is an absence of fuel, which will cause a miss with no smoke. Fuel not igniting will cause a miss- and the smoke.
