Where is the best place to get the 36 mm socket to turn the crank by hand when doing a valve job? also where is the best place to get the valve depressor tool?. i have also heard you can rent a full shim kit from somwhere and only get charged for the ones you use, anyone heard of this?

It is 36mm, and you should be able to get one at Sears for about $8, at least that's what I paid.
I'm not sure about shim kit rental.
It doesn't take long to get them from the dealer if you just measure the ones you will need. I measured mine, ordered from the dealer the next morning, and had the shims the next day by lunch. So the car was down 1 full day for shims (never mind that I was totally rebuilding the motor, so it took just a little longer than one day)
HTH,

Koala Motorsport rents the tool and shim kit. I've never done it but the deal sounds reasonable.
