As Matt said change both while you have it out. Also take a good look at the valve cover gaskets and the head gaskets. Had a CH18 with a broken valve cover bolt and it was allowing oil to blow onto the exhaust. Didn't have a mosquito problem when it was running. I also used some Permatex Ultra Gray on the valve covers when I put them back on, got tired of the dribbles.
