Is it normal for the North Star engine to use a quart of oil in under 2000 miles?

No, it is not normal for a Northstar engine to consume a quart of oil in under 2000 miles. While some oil consumption is considered acceptable in older engines, a quart in such a short distance is excessive and indicates a potential problem. This could be due to worn piston rings, valve stem seals, or other internal engine components. It warrants immediate investigation by a qualified mechanic. Ignoring it could lead to more serious engine damage.
