Typically called "the key" this is the area underneath the goal starting at the baseline on either side on the basket and extending 15 feet from the basket to the free throw line (this area alone is called the paint). on the outside of these lines are several 1 foot long stripes and a single square on either side called the block.

these blocks, stripes and lines together make up the key because of the general shape they make. midrange jumpers are associated with this area (top of the key)

Is the keyway on a small block Chevy at 0 degrees?

This is a good question. Yes, the keyway, is accurate. What is not, is the balancer. After 74, the balancer keyway is offset, from the timing mark. Any harmonic balancer you use, look to see where the keyway is, compared to the hash mark on it. Make sure they line up.

Remove the torsion bar in a dodge ram?

Jack the front end up and support it w/jackstands. You can either use a torsion bar unloading tool or rent a ball joint press which is what I did, and place it around the crossmember to where the keyway or "porkchop" is located. Apply presure to the keyway by screwing the balljoint spacer as if you were tightening it. This will relieve the pressure off the keyway adjustment bolt so you can unscrew it and take out the keyway bolt keeper. Next unscrew the ball joint press and the keyway will fall lose. Then you can pull the torsion bar all the way through to remove it.

Why do you need a keyway in the construction of a wall?

typically, a keyway is found in a wall made of concrete where there is two separate pours which abut themselves, otherwise referred to as a cold joint. it makes sense to insert a concave keyway continously along the length and in the center of a section of the first wall section poured to receive an abutting concrete pour at a later date. this inserted keyway creates an interlocking style effect between the two abutting pours which creates a higher quality connection than simply butting the two pours with nothing to interconnect them. typically, a keyway is found in a wall made of concrete where there is two separate pours which abut themselves, otherwise referred to as a cold joint. it makes sense to insert a concave keyway continously along the length and in the center of a section of the first wall section poured to receive an abutting concrete pour at a later date. this inserted keyway creates an interlocking style effect between the two abutting pours which creates a higher quality connection than simply butting the two pours with nothing to interconnect them.
