How long is a piece of string?
Couple of questions.................
What was the experience level of the person who put it back together?
Helicopters in total?
On the type? - They are getting a bit "rare" these days.
And how recently? See above.
Do you think 70 hours is excessive? The helicopter would still have to have been released as serviceable, not just "put back together" otherwise you would have done it yourself.
More info would be a help.
With regard to your "maintenance release" if you read the regulations, as the aircraft was effectively disassembled and shipped somewhere. It may no longer be in force.
Read Reg 47 from a CASA viewpoint!
