Abstract

A method includes a grinding step of forming the shape of a contact surface, a grooving step of roughening the shaped contact surface to form grooves therein, and a contact surface lapping step of lapping the contact surface having the grooves with a lapping film to form oil grooves for holding a lubricant oil. The surface roughness of the contact surface is such that the maximum height roughness Rz is 4 μm or less, the mean length RSm of the roughness profile elements is 30 to 60 μm, the skewness Rsk of the roughness profile is −2.7 to −0.6 (no unit), the reduced peak height Rpk is 0.09 μm or less, and the reduced valley depth Rvk is 0.4 to 1.3 μm.
