Environment - Non Weather Related; Procedure
Approach was ILS X30L. Aircraft was being vectored and was flying assigned speed of 170 Kts. ATC advised we were following a heavy 767. ATC issued a 'Go-Around' clearance due to loss of separation. At that moment; our aircraft experienced a wake turbulence event that rolled the airplane to the right at approximately 45 degrees of bank. The aircraft returned to straight and level flight on its own; within a few seconds. The aircraft flew the go-around procedure as cleared and returned for an uneventful and normal landing.
Reporter stated he would like more separation from widebody aircraft.
