recursive routing with a tunnel

I knew that this has been posted before.. but would like to ask it again.. Here is the scenario.
 
R4 ------- (area 4 ) -----R3---( serial link, area 2 )---------- R2--------(serial link, area 3) ----------- R1------- (area 0)
 
R3 serial link IP: 172.16.2.3
R1 serial link IP: 172.16.3.1
 
R3 Router:
========
int tunne1
   ip add 172.16.15.3 255.255.255.0
   tunnel destination 172.16.3.1
   tunnel source 172.16.2.3
 
R1 Router:
=========
int tunn 1
  ip add 172.16.15.1 255.255.255.0
  tunn destination 172.16.2.3
  tunn source 172.16.3.1
 
R1 connects to area 0, a virtual link was also created between R1 and R2 to learn the routes from area 2. I also built a tunnel between R3 and R1 through area 0 so all the routes in area 4 can be learned as well. I created additional interface on both R1 and R3 and then put them under ospf area 0. It hit the recursive routing.. R3 sees a directly route through 172.16.15.0 subnets and then started to delete routes learned through serial interface, which brought the tunnel interface down..
 
I am thinking of manipulating the distance which make some routes prefer serial link and some use tunnel, but do not know exactly how.. Your helps are highly appreciated..
 
thanks in advance.
