My understanding is the prechamber orifice size, shape, and orientation would need specifically designed for the combustion chamber it is mated to. All attempts I am aware of on the 6.5L engine to modify the prechamber orifices has led to worse performance.

The prechambers are usually made of exotic materials (e.g. inconel) so welding one on there may be more difficult than it sounds.
Inconel 625 is common and filler rods of this alloy are too. Tig welding with back shielding.

You can weld to other steel alloys with 625.

Yes, I used to work in the nuclear industry.
