Narrative:
Visual approach to 25L behind a heavy boeing 767. PF encountered wake turbulence at just above the threshold and a go-around was initiated. Tower instructed climb to 2000; fly runway heading. At full power; 2000 feet came quickly and we blew through the assigned altitude. I took control of the aircraft and stabilized us back down to 2000 feet. PF was 'rattled' by the wake turbulence and became task saturated during the go around; high power setting and fast climb rate put [the first officer] behind the aircraft. Result - we exceed assigned altitude by 600 feet. Along with the normal approach briefing; include the procedures for a possible go around (steps) in with the missed approach instructions (approach plate map brief).

Title: ERJ-175 flight crew reported executing a go-around after encountering wake turbulence from a B767 on short final at LAX.
