Well if you know the displacement, number of cylinders, and geometric compression ratio, you have everything you need to figure out the clearance volume.

Compression Ratio = (Displacement + Clearance Volume)/(Clearance Volume)

- rearranged gives: clearance volume = displacement/(comp. ratio -1).

A reasonable assumption of compression ratio on a modern F1 engine is somewhere around 12-13.5:1, I would say. So assume 12.8:1 compression ratio. You also now that each cylinder displaces 2400cc/8 = 300cc.

So, clearance volume = ( 300cc ) / ( 12.8 - 1) = 25.42cc

That should get you in the ballpark anyway.
