Last thing I heard (2006) was that the engine was partially disassembled and stored (mostly) indoors, while the tender was sitting outside of their shop, uncovered. The project was waiting for a $200,000 grant, which apparently never materialized.
I have little hope to see this engine run again, unless the ITM gets a MAJOR infusion of money. With a recession looming large on the horizon, I don't see that happening for a decade.
