If you have a set of feeler gauges, push the cylinder back, and measure the gap between the cylinder and barrel.

Also, if you have a way of holding the frame and cylinder crane still, open the cylinder, and use a dial indicator to see how much end play the cylinder has on the spindle. That will tell you how bad it's worn out, and how much to make up. You might want to check side play on the cylinder too.
