Jetting and timing question

And to your question last night, if the key was left out of the timing gear, I think it would just spin. LOL.
I wonder if dampener would lock gear to crank? Isnt the key long so it fits gear and balancer? Easy enough to check, pull bolt and slide a pick down the groove.
