The same or slightly smaller...
Might just have to rebuild the old cylinder... :confused3:

I've saw new cylinders act like that the first couple strokes until they fill with fluid. Wondering if maybe there is something wrong with the seals? Bummer.

What was wrong with the old cylinder?

Just weeping a little around the rod.

I'm going to lube the rod with some spray-on lith grease and see if that helps...

Is your old cylinder rebuildable? But then, you may pay half or more of the cost of the new cylinder for a rebuild kit??

Exactly. I think it will be rebuildable.
