Honda CL200 stuck engine, when to give up ?

I have a cl200 I picked up last year (with my cl450), the 200 had been outside for years, typical stuck engine. These are my first bikes but having exp with old brit cars I know the routine, marvel mystery oil in the cylinders, wd-40, some blaster and rock it. It always seemed to work with the cars (i guess there's just more weight to rocking a sunbeam alpine then a cl200) but it didn't work on the 200. I'd had all that stuff in it since last September, now the engine is out & almost totally disassembled, all that remains is the crank, the upper half of the case, the cylinders & the pistons inside. I've used more blaster, wd-40, lighter fluid, I've picked at it with dental tools, I've heated it & whacked the pistons directly with the wood dowel & hammer technique, aside from putting it under a 50ton press is there anything else to do or is it time to give up ?

Thanks
