A prechamber assembly for an engine is disclosed. The prechamber assembly includes an air-fuel chamber and a prechamber in fluid communication with the air-fuel chamber via a conduit. The conduit includes a first end disposed in the air-fuel chamber and a second end disposed in the prechamber to allow premixed air-fuel mixture to flow from the air-fuel chamber to the prechamber. The prechamber is to receive a lean air-fuel mixture during a compression stroke of the engine. Further, the prechamber assembly also includes a valve disposed at the first end of the conduit, the valve configured to allow the premixed air-fuel mixture to flow from the air-fuel chamber to the prechamber. The premixed air-fuel mixture entering the prechamber mixes with the lean air-fuel mixture to form a stoichiometric ratio of a rich air-fuel mixture.
