So this last block (492,961), why is the size 998,181kb while most of the previous blocks were over 1MB and had more transaction fees. I have noticed most other miners are minting blocks over 1MB and wanted to see if Kano is limited.

As others have stated, it's because the block was 1 minute after the prior one.  "short" blocks tend to have less transaction fees.

Have a look at some of the prior blocks, referencing the block history on Kano's website, and you'll see the "longer" blocks tend to be very "fat" with transaction fees.

EDIT: like the most recent one for 14.89274489.  That's 2.39274489 BTC in fees.

No what they are saying, and if you check blockexplorer you can scroll back through the history of every block we have found, that none of the blocks are over 988.01kb in size.

I guess the question they are asking is what are these >1MB blocks and how come we aren't mining any when other pools are?

However, I don't see these big >1MB blocks on blockexplorer as they are seeing them. https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/blocks/2
