RIP routing table EIGRP won't take it

topology: R3--R1--R4

-- Background --
R3 loopback0: 172.16.56.3/32
All three routers are running EIGRP no auto-summary.
R3 Lo0 is not introduced to the EIGRP by network; it is injected by
Redistribute Connected
sh ip route on R4 shows that 172.16.56.3/32 is EX with distance 170.
All interfaces of the three routers are reachable by all routers.

-- New add-in and observation --
add router RIP version 2 on R3 and R1 with no auto-summary
R3 Lo0 is not introduced to the RIP by network; it is injected by
Redistribute Connected metric 1
sh ip route on R1 shows R 172.16.56.3 [120/1] via 192.168.13.3
sh ip route on R4 DOES NOT show this route on its routing table!
sh ip eigrp top on R4 DOES NOT show this route (172.16.56.3) on its
EIGRP topology table!!

-- Remedy --
add the command distance 180 172.16.56.3 0.0.0.0 on R4 router RIP will
solve the problem.

--Question --
(1) Is there a way we can do on R1 to change the distance of the learned
route (172.16.56.3/32)?
(2) Why 172.16.56.3/32 is not on the R4 EIGRP topology table while it is
on the R1 EIGRP table?
(3) Any comments?

Thanks,
