If the new hammer has even slightly deeper sear notches, it will require more travel for the sear release lever to push the sear out of engagement with the hammer.

Sear release levers are adjusted by carefully stoning or filing the angled "foot" on the bottom that pushes on the sear.
If you lay your old sear release lever on top of your new sear release lever, you should be able to see that that foot on your new lever is slightly longer.
Properly adjusted, your new sear foot should have a small amount of material removed but still be longer than your old sear foot.

Does this all make sense?
