    I would look up the part number and run the correct shear pin.  Just out of an abundance of caution.  The shear pin was designed to give out at a certain level of force, such as if the prop hit a rock or something.  It is there to fail before the prop strike can damage your engine internals.  Hopefully you find this useful.
